Kitchen makeovers in Leamington Spa

Kitchen makeovers in Leamington Spa: approvals and local details

Planning permission is rarely needed for this work in Leamington Spa. We'll still look at access, parking for deliveries and any shared boundaries before we price it.

Replacing doors and worktops on existing units doesn't usually need Building Regulations approval.
A gas hob taken out for new worktops must be reconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Soft-close hinges and drawer runners are an inexpensive upgrade that makes older units feel new.

Choices to weigh up in Leamington Spa

Replacement doors and drawer fronts

New doors in shaker, slab, gloss or wood-effect finishes, made to fit your existing carcasses. Most fitted kitchens use standard unit sizes, so replacement doors are easy to source; older or unusual kitchens may need made-to-measure doors. New end panels, plinths and cornice are matched so the finish looks complete rather than patched.

New worktops

Replacing tired worktops changes a kitchen more than almost anything else. Laminate is quick and affordable, solid wood brings warmth, and quartz or compact laminate is hard-wearing. Changing worktops means disconnecting the sink and hob, so plumbing and, for a gas hob, a Gas Safe registered engineer are included where needed.

Before you book in Leamington Spa

Will new doors fit my old kitchen?

Usually, yes. Most fitted kitchens use standard unit widths, so doors are widely available in many styles. Older or less common kitchens sometimes have unusual sizes or hinge positions, and then made-to-measure doors are the answer. We measure every door and drawer front individually rather than relying on catalogue sizes, so they fit first time.

Which postcodes in Leamington Spa do you work in?

We cover CV32 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Leamington Spa, neighbouring Warwick and Kenilworth are covered too.

How do I know if my units are good enough to keep?

Open the cupboard under the sink and the one beside the dishwasher. If the chipboard is swollen, crumbly or stained, those units may need replacing. Check that cabinets are level, backs are intact and hinges hold their screws. We check every cabinet at the survey and will tell you straight if a makeover isn't the right answer.

Who approves kitchen makeovers in Leamington Spa?

Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Warwick District Council would need to give listed building consent first.
